Tuesday was a poor day for my pick Mazagran who finished 11th. The 13/2 chance was towards the rear making some slight headway in the final furlong but he was never a danger. SirJack Thomas was a shock winner the 50/1 shot beat Quizical by 3 lengths.
Our third day at Galway sees 8 races with the main event being the 6.15 when 25 line-up for the Tote Galway Plate. Modus was 6th in this race in 2019 and after some good runs at Aintree he returned to Ireland to finish 3rd to Sole Pretender in the Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary 27 days ago,this will be his second run for new trainer Enda Bolger and he should go well. The Shunter has had a good year winning the Paddy Power Plate at the Cheltenham Festival then moving to Aintree to finish second in a grade one in April and his last run was a good third over hurdles at Punchestown in May making him the main threat. Top Moon didn't need to improve to win a handicap chase at Wexford at the beginning of this month,he beat Somptueux by 2 1/2 lengths that day and definitely deserves respect. Off You Go ran a rare mistake free race when winning a handicap chase at Leopardstown in February, his only other run this year was a respectable 6th in the Irish Grand National and he can't be ruled out. The best of the Willie Mullins runners is Royal Rendezvous who was 2nd in this race last year and set up another bid with a win at Ballinrobe in May so he shouldn't be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 19: Modus.
